The Reason I am Halting the Automation of My Account
I want to be in total control of what content I find rewarding. I want to use my mind instead of a robot to make my selections for me. Though I have had great success and decent earnings from those bots, I have come to desire to have more freedom to decide for myself what I would like or dislike. It also allows me to be less active reviewing the content so many excellent new artists and writers create. I will engage more and more with the authors I support. I will have a more hands-on approach to the activity I exhibit.
I have experimented with dlease earnings. (My dlease experiment expires soon.) After that, it will be 100% human-operated.
@mahdiyari and hive.vote have served the community and me in many great ways. Thank you for an extremely useful dApp and your continued Community support by being a HIVE Witness (#39 at the time of posting). I suggest giving them your vote.
The dApp has fantastic features and it gives a User the opportunity to earn passively. Upvoting or policing undesirable articles (downvoting) and that is great for all of us in the long run. Auto-claiming rewards add a compounding element to having a HIVE account.
Thank you, dear reader, for your time.
- This is not to condemn automation services
- This article is my own personal opinion
Great decision. If HIVE wants to attract more humans, then it needs more human curators. The platform especially needs curators with upvotes in the $.01 and $.02 cent range as these are the upvotes that get posts over that pesky cent dust level.
If you drop your 10 upvotes a day, you will probably make as much passive income as you did with the bots.
Absolutely, seeing anything over $.00 is exhilarating looking back when I was newly discovering another platform. I still have my 1k HP lease is up in a few days. I think I pump out 2.5 cents an upvote, ish.
I couldn't agree more and this is a great way to compete with the efficiency of a robot. Our minds are wonderful biological devices in and of themselves.
Sadly the price of HIVE keeps falling. The upvote calculator says the upvote with 1483 HP is currently worth $0.16 . My HP is 2463. My 94% upvote seems to be about $0.024 . I like having it high enough so that I can upvote comments without having the reward being swept away as dust.
The level seems to be about $480 USD.
I am happy that you made the move to being robot free.
Somehow I just feel freer. I like it a whole lot.
